Residents say small children were among at least 22 people killed in weekend fighting between separatists and the military in northwestern Cameroon, including some who died after a fuel tank exploded.
YAOUNDE, Cameroon — Small children were among at least 22 people killed in weekend fighting between separatists and the military in northwestern Cameroon, residents said.
“Little babies, pregnant women were killed. How do you explain this?” he asked. “They never knew that they will be killed in their sleep by the very military that is supposed to protect them.” Samuel Ikome Sako, who calls himself interim president of the Republic of Ambazonia, the state claimed by the separatists, blamed the military for the deaths of civilians.
Defense Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Rene Claude Meke said told state broadcaster CRTV the military has been professional in its fight against the separatists.
